Bill Gates gave the opening keynote at last week's Microsoft Mix06 conference, featuring Aber Whitcom from MySpace (which uses SQL Server) and Ashley Highfield from the BBC. The speech ended with a dicussion between Gates and Tim O'Reilly, followed by a Q&A. There's a transcript of the whole thing online.
Gates made an interesting remark which I haven't seen a Softie make before. Talking about Atlas, Microsoft's AJAX programming utility, he said: "If you think of Atlas as sort of raising the floor, sort of the just pure browser experience to a significant higher level, we also want to raise the ceiling."
Dion Hinchcliffe has a good round-up of Mix06 with useful links to further coverage.
